No racket from vuvuzelas at Wimbledon

London: Wimbledon Organizers are making sure there will be no racket from vuvuzelas at the Wimbledon tennis championships.

The plastic horns which have provided a constant drone at the World Cup in South Africa will be banned from the Grand Slam tournament, which starts Monday at the All England Club.

Wimbledon says in a statement that the horns "could be very distracting to the players and spectators."

In addition, no World Cup games will be broadcast on the big screens at Wimbledon and fans will not be allowed to bring large flags into the grounds.
